Give A Damn

We want to create opportunities for LGBTI’s, so that they are able to live their lives in the way that they choose, using their talents and potential, just as we have been given such opportunities in our lives. The Give a Damn circle works together, learns together, and chooses together for the projects that we support.

Our dream is to empower lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals, transgender, and intersex people (LGBTI’s) worldwide. We do this through supporting projects that give support to LGBTI’s, with a focus on the improvement of human rights, living and working conditions.

We support projects worldwide that have the potential to produce practical results and create concrete opportunities for LGBTI’s, including projects in difficult circumstances. We support small-scale projects and initiatives that focus on improvement of human rights, living and working conditions. We support financially by means of a donation, but we also offer, if requested, other kinds of support on the basis of our expertise.

We have been given, have created, and have benefitted from, opportunities in our lives. We are very much aware of our privileged position in a wealthy and relatively tolerant country such as The Netherlands. Not everyone gets such opportunities, and that is why we want to give something back and create opportunities for LGBTI’s. We want to support brave and beautiful LGBTI initiatives and projects worldwide with financial support. We focus on initiatives that bring the freedom that we experience in our daily lives, a step closer for others. We give a damn!
